Sunny Side Up

My sister, Amanda, who is also a photographer, told me about Kelly Moore who shoots in an inspiring and creative way. Kelly is having (or perhaps had) a competition for showcasing images shot in direct sunlight. She mentioned that she fled from it for years, while I was actually the opposite and have only just started to come into my own shooting on grey days or in the shade. But I thought I would post a few fun in the sun ones of my own. I tend to use straight on sun when trying to capture reflections, or when people are not looking at me, but I definitely try to get all angles of light so it was fun to dig out this angle from a couple different shoots.

Here are some backlit ones which obviously do not count as direct sunlight, though the sun was shining directly on my subjects, albeit from behind. I just like the shadows, the sunbursts or bright white outlines that the sun makes when behind too.

Since we don't have Target here anyway, and it is so late in the day to be entering, I am just posting for fun. Should Kelly like my pics, she can always give the gift certificate to someone who is in need on her side of the pond, or even better to charity! See the below post for a couple more graphic uses of the sun!

Sacha Blackburne Photography

Welcome to my blog where I share recent works, snippets about my life and images of my home and family.

I am a lifestyle photographer based in Bermuda.

I long to capture the essence of the people in my photographs - I want to show who they really are, and what they really feel - not just what they looked like that day.

I try to shoot creative and iconic wedding imagery as well as intimate, honest portraits.

My commercial work has been described as dreamy with an edge, and fine art images as emotive.

To see a full range of my portrait or wedding work, or for more information, please go to www.sachablackburne.com. Websites for workshops, fine art, commercial and stock images coming soon.
